AN ACT concerning finance.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

Section 5. The State Finance Act is amended by changing
Section 6z-69 as follows:
(30 ILCS 105/6z-69)
Sec. 6z-69. Comprehensive Regional Planning Fund.
(a) As soon as possible after July 1, 2016 2007, and on
each July 1 thereafter until July 1, 2010, the State Treasurer
shall transfer $5,000,000 from the General Revenue Fund to the
Comprehensive Regional Planning Fund. Beginning in 2017, the
amount of $5,000,000 shall annually be increased by the annual
unadjusted percentage increase (but not less than zero) of the
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the
United States Department of Labor (United States city average,
all items, 1982-84 = 100) as reported on January 1 of that
year. If for any reason the aggregate appropriations made
available are insufficient to meet the total amount of transfer
required by this subsection, this subsection shall constitute a
continuing appropriation of all amounts necessary for these
purposes. The General Assembly may appropriate lesser amounts
by law.
(b) The Subject to appropriation, the Illinois Department

SB2966 - 2 - LRB099 19604 MRW 43999 b
of Transportation shall make lump sum distributions from the
Comprehensive Regional Planning Fund as soon as possible after
each July 1 from all federal and other moneys received to the
recipients and in the amounts specified in subsection (c). The
recipients must use the moneys for comprehensive regional
planning purposes.
(c) Each year's distribution under subsection (b) shall be
as follows: (i) 70% to the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for
Planning (CMAP); (ii) 25% to the State's other Metropolitan
Planning Organizations (exclusive of CMAP), each Organization
receiving a percentage equal to the percent its area population
represents to the total population of the areas of all the
State's Metropolitan Planning Organizations (exclusive of
CMAP); and (iii) 5% to the State's Rural Planning Agencies,
each Agency receiving a percentage equal to the percent its
area population represents to the total population of the areas
of all the State's Rural Planning Agencies.
(d) (Blank). Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in
addition to any other transfers that may be provided by law, on
July 1, 2011, or as soon thereafter as practical, the State
Comptroller shall direct and the State Treasurer shall transfer
the remaining balance from the Comprehensive Regional Planning
Fund into the General Revenue Fund. Upon completion of the
transfers, the Comprehensive Regional Planning Fund is
dissolved, and any future deposits due to that Fund and any
outstanding obligations or liabilities of that Fund pass to the

SB2966 - 3 - LRB099 19604 MRW 43999 b
General Revenue Fund.
(e) There is created the Comprehensive Regional Planning
Fund as a special fund in the State treasury.
